It took more than two hours of walking along the mountain road to reach the county town. Shen Shuyu followed his memory and walked into a hidden alley. He paid a dime to the gatekeeper and went to the black market to sell game.

Before entering the black market, Shen Shuyu covered her face with a black headscarf, spoke in a deliberately rough voice, and walked with a limp. She was not worried about being recognized.

As soon as the pheasants and rabbits in the cage were slightly exposed, many people came to ask the price. In a short while, three rabbits and a pheasant were sold.

There was still a hare and a pheasant left in the cage.

Someone with sharp eyes noticed the pheasant eggs and mushrooms in the basket and asked Shen Shuyu if she wanted to sell them. She waved her hand and said, "I'm not selling them."

Putting the money in his pocket, Shen Shuyu didn't stay in the black market for long and left as fast as he could.

The reason why the black market is called the black market is that it is a place that cannot be seen in the light. If someone is caught here and charged with speculation and profiteering, he is almost finished.

After going back and forth, it was already past seven o'clock when Shen Shuyu returned to the Shenjiaba Brigade and it was getting dark.

Afraid that her grandparents would worry, she quickened her pace and walked home. From a distance, she saw a lot of people gathered in three layers outside her house.

"My dear, tell me what Shen Xue was thinking. She went up the mountain and picked up a man."

"What can I think? That girl has a kind heart."

"I took a look at that man. He was covered in blood. It was scary. Shen Xue was really brave. She wasn't scared at all..."

The aunt who was watching the fun was talking a lot. Shen Shuyu knew what happened at home without asking her. Tsk, the male protagonist was picked up by Shen Xue and taken home. The days that followed were going to be interesting.

"Oh, Shu Yu is back from playing outside. Come in quickly. Shen Xue picked up a man and your grandparents and aunt are so angry that their faces are green."

The aunts saw Shen Shuyu and made way for her. As for why Shen Shuyu came back so late, none of them asked, where could this girl go? Since she didn't have to do any work every day, of course she would go out to play.

When Shen Shuyu walked into the house, she saw her grandmother whipping Shen Xue with a whip, "What did you say? You picked up a wild man and brought him home to keep him?

Are you crazy? I asked you to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, but you didn't bring any home. Instead, you picked up a man and brought him back. He was seriously injured. Look at how he breathes in more than out. And you still want to keep him at home. Are you trying to kill your whole family?"

"Mom, hit her quickly, hit her hard, this girl might think that our Shen family is living too peacefully.

"Mom, are you tired of beating me? If you are, let me do it." Second aunt Li Caixia was fanning the flames. She was afraid that her mother-in-law was tired, so she took over the whip from Old Lady Shen.

Shen Xue was beaten and cried bitterly, looking so fragile that she seemed like she would faint at the next second.

"Oh, mother, second sister-in-law, please don't hit my Xue'er. She didn't do anything against the will of heaven. She was just kind-hearted and saved someone..."

Liu Pandi wanted to protect her daughter, but her aunt held her tightly, "My third sister-in-law, your good daughter is incredible. Without saying a word, she brought a wild man home.

This is not the way to do good deeds. If someone is injured, they can be sent to the hospital. Why take him home? This person is so seriously injured. Who knows what he did? Who is he?

A wild man of unknown origin, what if he is a bad guy?

Just in case...

To put it bluntly, what would happen if he died in the Shen family?

Who can take the responsibility behind this?

Shen Shuyu ignored the others and poured a glass of water for Old Lady Shen, helped her sit down and helped her calm down. "Grandma, you have to take care of your health. Don't ruin your health because of unworthy people's anger."

Old Mrs. Shen took a sip of water, slowed down, and forced a smile, "My dear, you're back."

This time, Old Lady Shen was really angry about what Shen Xue did. After Shen Shuyu persuaded her for a long time, Old Lady Shen's mood slowly calmed down.

Fearing that the wild man Shen Xue had picked up had died in Old Shen's house, Old Shen asked his eldest son to ask the village barefoot doctor to come and take a look.

The barefoot doctor examined him carefully and prescribed some emergency medicine. He shook his head and said, "This man must have been injured by a wild boar. His injuries are too severe. I can't treat him. He needs to be sent to the county hospital."

The barefoot doctor also emphasized that the patient had to be sent there tonight, as it would be too late to send him there tomorrow.

When she heard that he had to be sent to the county hospital, her second aunt Li Caixia raised her voice, "What? We have to send him to the county hospital. Who will pay for it?"

Mrs. Li, who was watching the fun, said, "This person was picked up by your little girl Xue."

Who else can pay? Let your Shen family pay!

Li Caixia really wanted to beat this girl to death, as she had brought great trouble to the family. "Old Third's family, this person was picked up by your daughter. You have to figure out how much the hospital fee is. You can't ask your mother to pay from the public funds."

My mother-in-law is the head of the family, and every penny earned by the family must be handed over to her. All the expenses of the family are usually paid from the public fund. My son hasn't even married yet, so it's a lot of money to spend.

If she had to spend money on a strange man, Li Caixia would not do it.

No one cared about Li Caixia's words now. Old man Shen was afraid that she had really died in his home, so he hurriedly asked his grandson to go to the brigade to borrow an ox cart.

Uncle Shen put the people on the ox cart, and all the men in the Shen family got on the ox cart and drove the cart to the county hospital.

The onlookers went home. Shen Shuyu helped Old Lady Shen back to the house and laid her down. She took out things from the backpack one by one.

"Grandma, look what good things I found in the mountains. I was lucky enough to catch a pheasant, a rabbit, a nest of pheasant eggs, as well as wild vegetables and mushrooms."

Finally, Shen Shuyu took out two large chicken legs and said, "Grandma, I specially left these chicken legs for you and grandpa to eat."

With so many good things in front of her, Old Lady Shen felt much better. "My sweet baby is sensible, unlike that naughty girl.

Take these pheasants and rabbits to your aunt and I’ll make fried rabbit meat for you tomorrow night.

Eat these two chicken legs. I'm already eating rice and can't eat any more."

Old Mrs. Shen still couldn't bear to eat the chicken leg that her good granddaughter brought her.

"Grandma, I roasted a pheasant in the mountains. I'm full. You eat it. If you don't, I'll be angry."

Seeing that Shen Shuyu was about to get angry, Old Lady Shen smiled and said, "Eat."

Except for the two chicken legs, Shen Shuyu took the rest of the things to her aunt-in-law to sort out.

The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt and Shen Xue were all in the yard. Li Caixia became more and more angry and kept scolding Shen Xue.

The mother and daughter of the third room huddled in the corner pitifully, and they looked so aggrieved.

"Aunt, there are pheasants, wild rabbits, pheasant eggs, wild vegetables and mushrooms in the backpack. Please put them away."

The second aunt, who was cursing the mother and daughter of the third wife, stopped cursing and took the basket first, "Oh, there are really pheasants, rabbits, and pheasant eggs.

This wild vegetable is so tender. This mushroom looks like it weighs more than three pounds.

I knew our Shu Yu was a capable person. Look at how many good things he brought back from just a casual trip up the mountain."

There were both pheasants and wild rabbits. Li Caixia was really happy because she would have meat to eat tomorrow night.

After praising Shen Shuyu, Li Caixia also said a few sarcastic things to Shen Xue, "Sister-in-law, we are all girls from the Shen family, why are there so many differences? Shuyu can bring back pheasants and rabbits when she goes up the mountain,

Some people can't even bring back a single wild vegetable, and they also bring great trouble to their families. Why do they have to pick up wild men when there are so many other things to pick up? What kind of thing is this? "

Shen Shuyu ignored them and went back to the house to get some clean clothes and take a shower.

Li Caixia really never gets tired. When Shen Shuyu came out of the shower, she was still scolding the mother and daughter of the third room.

"Her second aunt, why are you talking so harshly? My daughter Xue'er has done nothing wrong. She is just kind and naive, and she is young and inconsiderate."

"Bah! What kindness and innocence? What inconsiderateness? She clearly wants to harm our Shen family. Knowing she can't bring the wild man back, she even went to ask her uncle's cousin to help carry him back. How could she not do this on purpose?"

This girl didn't call her own cousin, but went to call her uncle's cousin. She knew that her uncle's cousin would listen to her. If she called her own boys, they would definitely not bring the person home. When seeing an injured person, normal people would think of sending him to the hospital, not bringing Shen Xue, such a troublesome thing, home.

Shen Xue wiped her tears and said, "Second Aunt, I...I didn't mean to harm my family. I just didn't think that much."

"Bah, you damn girl..."

Even with the door closed, Shen Shuyu could still hear their quarrel. She couldn't sleep at this time, so she lit the kerosene lamp and picked up the original owner's high school textbook to pass the time.

Shen Qiu couldn't stay in the room any longer and ran over to find Shen Shuyu, "Sister, are you asleep? Can I come in?"

Shen Shuyu opened the door for Shen Qiu. The girl came in and lay down on her kang, rolling around on it. "Sister, your room smells so good and is so comfortable."

Shen Qiu envied her elder sister very much for having a separate room. She also wanted to have her own room, but the room in her house was not big enough.

She could only share a room with her parents, separated by a curtain.

The area surrounded by the curtain is her private space.

Most of the time when Shen Qiu was at home, she liked to come to her room to play. Shen Shuyu didn't mind. She still liked this cousin very much. This girl was simple-minded and usually protected her as the eldest cousin.

Shen Shuyu took out two White Rabbit candies from the drawer and gave them to her. "Here, to sweeten your mouth."

When Shen Qiu saw Tang, her eyes instantly turned into stars, "Hehe, big sister, you are so nice."

The girl was lying on the kang with candy in her mouth, her chin supported by her hands, her legs swinging back and forth. I told her about the afternoon, "My second sister was absent-minded at work this afternoon, and she was always slacking off. Grandma was annoyed and asked her to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

It was already dinner time, but she hadn't come back from digging wild vegetables yet. Aunt San was worried about her. Finally, at half past six, she came back with her cousin, who was carrying a bloody man on his back.

The whole family was shocked and they wondered who it was.

After looking around, everyone in my family said they didn't know him. I asked my second sister and she also said she didn't know. She said she felt sorry for him and wanted to save him.

But what's the point of my second sister carrying him back home? My family doesn't know how to treat him, and the barefoot doctor in the village isn't very good either. I don't know what my second sister is thinking."

Shen Qiu felt that what her mother said was quite right, and her second sister seemed to have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Look how angry she is.

After a day's work, her grandfather and his men had to rush to take the patient to the hospital in the evening. They didn't know if her body could handle it.

Shen Shuyu thought to herself what could Shen Xue be thinking. Shen Xue and the male lead were the official couple. She traveled through time and space and was out of the plot. Now that the tool man was gone, the female lead had to pick up the male lead herself.

Shen Shuyu didn't reply to Shen Qiu, but Shen Qiu didn't care. Her elder sister was always like this, as if she didn't care about anything. But it didn't affect her chatting with her elder sister.

After talking about Shen Xue, Shen Qiu started talking about her eldest cousin, "Sister, I saw my eldest brother and Sister Fangfang flirting with each other today. Their faces turned red when they looked at each other. Do you think my eldest brother likes Sister Fangfang?"

The Sister Fangfang that Shen Qiu was referring to was Yang Fangfang, the second daughter of the branch secretary.

Shen Shuyu knew this girl quite well. She was a very quiet girl and had been interested in her elder brother for a long time, but her elder brother was like a fool and had never known about it.

It seems that she knows now. Shen Shuyu smiled and said, "That should be the case. Maybe Fangfang will become our sister-in-law."

"It would be great if she could become our sister-in-law. I like Sister Fangfang. She even gave me a cookie when she saw me yesterday."

Shen Qiu is a talkative person. No matter whether Shen Shuyu likes to listen or not, he tells Shen Shuyu all the gossips he knows today, such as how the young wife of someone's family was punished by her mother-in-law again.

The young man from someone's family is engaged, how much gift does the girl's family ask for...

The two sisters were talking so much that Shen Qiu's lips were dry. Then she remembered to go back to the room to sleep. "Sister, I'm so sleepy. I'm going back to the room first. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Shen Shuyu was also sleepy, so she closed the door, lay down on the kang, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
